Furthermore, consolidated profit grew by 180.2 percent to reach 24.1 million and equity totaled 142.4 million, thus bringing the equity ratio to 45.5 percent. As per January 1, 2011, consolidated orders came to 158.3 million.

2011 performance
While the European markets got off to a weak start in 2011, the companys Executive Board believes that demand will recover in the second quarter. It says that new orders for large power plant projects, in France for instance, have already been placed.
However, in terms of revenues, it "expects stagnation or a marginal increase" this year. As with most other photovoltaic companies, "the process of internationalization will be pursued with continued intensity". Moreover, Phoenix Solar says it expects its first revenues from the U.S. this year.
